I have a 1986 C30 with a Universal M25 with Hurth transmission and Edson wheel with separte engine controls. The shifter has always been sloppy and difficult to shift into forward. I would like to fix this and get it working the right way. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't think the cable is broken as I can get it to move but I know it should be easier than it is. I found the replacement cables on the Edson website but don't know what lenght I need for sure. I am reluctant to pull the existing one out for measurement because if I have to replace it I would like to use the existing one to pull the new one through. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.

Catalina Direct addresses this issue and they admit that Catalina doesn't even know the correct length. They also say to pull the cables with a line attached to pull the new ones bsck through. The Catalina Direct website has instructions and if I remember correctly the cables have a coded number on them and a couple of the digits denote the cable length.
